Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

F# minorF#m           D MajorD
This land is barren and broken
E MajorE              A augmentedA   E MajorE
Scarred like the face of the moon
F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m
Our tongue is no longer spoken
D MajorD           E MajorE
Towns all around face ruin
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Will there be work in New Brunswick
E MajorE            A augmentedA  E MajorE
Will I find gold in the Cape
F# minorF#m            C# minorC#m
If I tunnel way down to Australia
D MajorD       E MajorE
Oh, how will I ever escape

[Chorus]

A augmentedA             E MajorE
Where there’s a mine or a hole in the ground
F# minorF#m             D MajorD
That’s what I’m heading for that’s where I’m bound
E MajorE            A augmentedA     E MajorE     D MajorD  E MajorE
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E MajorE            A augmentedA       E MajorE     D MajorD
I’m leaving the county behind and I’m not coming back
  E MajorE     D MajorD      F# minorF#m
So, follow me down cousin Jack


[Verse 2]

F# minorF#m              D MajorD
The soil was too poor to make Eden
E MajorE            A augmentedA    E MajorE
Granite and sea left no choice
F# minorF#m              C# minorC#m
Though visions of heaven sustained us
D MajorD             E MajorE
When John Wesley gave us a voice
F# minorF#m               D MajorD
Did Joseph once come to St Michael’s mount
E MajorE              A augmentedA   E MajorE
Two thousand years pass in a dream
F# minorF#m                 C# minorC#m
When you’re working your way in the darkness
D MajorD            E MajorE
Deep in the heart of the seam

[Chorus]

A augmentedA             E MajorE
Where there’s a mine or a hole in the ground
F# minorF#m             D MajorD
That’s what I’m heading for that’s where I’m bound
E MajorE            A augmentedA     E MajorE     D MajorD  E MajorE
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E MajorE            A augmentedA       E MajorE     D MajorD
I’m leaving the county behind and I’m not coming back
  E MajorE     D MajorD      F# minorF#m
So, follow me down cousin Jack


[Verse 3]

F# minorF#m            D MajorD
I dream of a bridge on the Tamar
E MajorE           A augmentedA   E MajorE
It opens us up to the east
F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
And the English live in our houses
D MajorD            E MajorE
The Spanish fish in our seas


[Chorus]

A augmentedA             E MajorE
Where there’s a mine or a hole in the ground
F# minorF#m             D MajorD
That’s what I’m heading for that’s where I’m bound
E MajorE            A augmentedA     E MajorE     D MajorD  E MajorE
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Where the copper the clay the arsenic and tin
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Run in your blood and get under your skin
E MajorE            A augmentedA       E MajorE     D MajorD
I’m leaving the county behind and I’m not coming back
  E MajorE     D MajorD      F# minorF#m
